The Example of Her Life Is Our Solace
Shoghi Effendi, Bahíyyih Khánum, (1982) · Read original
When in Bahá'í history
I greatly value your sympathy in my cruel, my irreparable loss. My only comfort is the assurance of her devoted lovers to remain firm and steadfast in the Cause and to strive to follow in her footsteps. The example of her life is our solace, our inspiration and strength. May the Beloved aid you to follow in her way, and to perpetuate her glorious memory.
